Poem of the Week for: 02/18/2020 - 02/24/2020

Famous poet Edna St. Vincent Millay emotionally conveys the pain of losing a loved one in her poem “Time Does Not Bring Relief (Sonnet II).” The memory of that loved one will always be on our minds. It feels as though even the passing of time does not ease the hurt. Memories come flooding back as soon as you enter a place where the two of you enjoyed moments together.
